Hee Sun drew an electron dot diagram of a silicon atom as shown. In addition to changing the symbol to C, how would this diagram compare with an electron dot diagram of a carbon atom (C)? The dot to the left of the symbol would be removed in the diagram for carbon. The same number of dots would appear in the diagram for carbon. There would be two dots above and to the right of the symbol in the diagram for carbon. The single dots would be replaced with two dots on each side of the symbol in the diagram for carbon

the answer is B) The same number of dots would appear in the diagram for carbon.

Answer: The same number of dots would appear in the diagram for carbon.

Explanation:

Electron dot structure are structure in which dots are used to represent the number of valence electrons of an element in compound. These electrons dots are placed around the chemical symbol of that element.

In electron dot structure of silicon, there are four dots present around the symbol 'Si' because their are four valence electrons present in the valence shell of the silicon atom.

Also in electron dot structure of carbon, there are four dots present around the symbol 'C' because their are four valence electrons present in the valence shell of the carbon atom.

So, the number of dots  would appear in the diagram for carbon will be same.
